So, the holidays have passed and we all are catching our breath again. This was the first Christmas abroad, which was spent with my family in Okinawa. I am thankful that I was able to spend it with family, but I must say it is not the same as Christmas in Hattiesburg. Instead of shopping for treasures at my favorite stores, (I do miss TJ Maxx!) , it was mostly done online. Instead of Christmas dinner at Honey's, there was brunch at the Officer's Club. Yes, there were Christmas lights, but it's not the same when they are mostly blue and the signs usually say Happy Merry Christmas. At least the Starbuck's here did have the red cups and gingerbread lattes! It truly is different to be celebrate the holidays outside of the Bible Belt. I did decide to start one new holiday tradition...my Japanese Christmas Tree, complete with Hello Kitty ornaments...enjoy!!
It's on to 2009! (A year in which I do plan to post more frequently.) 2008 was one crazy, exciting year. I can't wait to see what's in store for this one.
